Management of post‐implant fibrous dysplasia in the maxilla: A case study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrous dysplasia is generally rare, and even rarer in older adults. Special care is needed when altering the alveolar bone in these cases, especially if an implant is involved. This case study highlights such a scenario. Methods This case study details the experience of a 63‐year‐old African American female who presented with a ...

Gut microbiota-metabolite interactions meditate the effect of dietary patterns on precocious puberty

iScience
Summary: Precocious puberty, a pediatric endocrine disorder classified as central precocious puberty (CPP) or peripheral precocious puberty (PPP), is influenced by diet, gut microbiota, and metabolites, but the specific mechanisms remain unclear.

Hepatoblastoma with precocious puberty

Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, 2019
Hepatoblastoma (HB), a primary liver tumor of childhood, is often accompanied by raised levels of alpha-fetoprotein (α-FP). Rarely, the beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels may also be elevated, which can cause peripheral precocious puberty (PPP). We report a case of HB with precocious puberty wherein hormonal assays showed an increase in α-

Steroidopathies and hormonal imbalance in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with a multifactorial etiology, many aspects of which remain unclear. Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between ASD and clinical manifestations resulting from hormonal imbalances, henceforth named “steroidopathies.” The present study aims to ...

Central Precocious Puberty: Update on Diagnosis and Treatment [PDF]

, 2015
Central precocious puberty (CPP) is characterized by the same biochemical and physical features as normally timed puberty but occurs at an abnormally early age. Most cases of CPP are seen in girls, in whom it is usually idiopathic.

Targeted Next‐Generation Sequencing of the Leptin‐Melanocortin Pathway in Severe Obesity

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in five established leptin‐melanocortin pathway genes (LEP, LEPR, MC4R, PCSK1, POMC) are associated with severe early‐onset obesity and are targets for emerging treatments. However, these variants are rare in these patients, suggesting the involvement of additional genes interacting with this pathway. Methods Next‐

Timing of maternal exposure and fetal sex determine the effects of low-level chemical mixture exposure on the fetal neuroendocrine system in sheep [PDF]

, 2016
We have shown that continuous maternal exposure to the complex mixture of environmental chemicals (ECs) found in human biosolids (sewage sludge), disrupts mRNA expression of genes crucial for development and long-term regulation of hypothalamo-pituitary ...

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...
